Jones said he’s currently focusing on his weightlifting routines to make sure he’s getting proportionally stronger and not leaving some areas of his body weaker than others.

Jones was putting together a monster season for the Falcons when he was hurt in October. Jones had caught 41 passes for 580 yards and two touchdowns in just five games for Atlanta. He was averaging 116 yards receiving a game, which put him on pace for 1,856 receiving yards if extrapolated over 16 games. Only Calvin Johnson in 2012 and Jerry Rice in 1995 have ever posted seasons with at least 1,800 receiving yards.

The Falcons will hope he can pick up right where he left off this fall.

It’s funny about Thomas Dimitroff’s move up to get Jullio Jones a few years ago. In one sense he was right: Jones is, when healthy, a transcendent receiver, a game-changer. But what Gertrude Stein once said of the city of Oakland–“there is no there there”–also applies to the Falcons’ roster. It’s rarely good to trade away so many draft picks for one player. Wide receivers don’t block or make tackles.
